UPDATE: ILLINOIS STATE POLICE SAY all lanes of Interstate 74 eastbound near milepost 95 are now OPEN.

Illinois State Police want drivers to know that they have closed down the middle and right hand lanes of Interstate 74, eastbound, near milepost 95 which is in East Peoria near the Main St. exit.

However, the far left hand lane at this location is currently open for traffic.

“It appears the expansion material in the roadway has worked its way up out of the roadway,” Illinois State Police Tpr. Lisa Osborne said. “It looks like a rubber-type material. I would call it similar to the roadway buckling in the summer time. IDOT is en route to repair it now.”

They’re asking all drivers are urged to use caution when traveling in the area.
